SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We have read an account of certain proceedingsat the petty sessions of Dorset,,July 29, and have been heart , tilthj:n by them. Six little boys, four from si x years old to or nine, and the two eldest of the party about ten years of age, were brought up before the magis , tratesbefore magistrates assembled in Sessions ! . —for the crime of stealing apples in an orchard! ! The poor little things uttered piteous cries on being dragged into this formidable presence—they had, as it seems, no parents near them. The deadly offence was said to have been committed during church time. A. constable diseovered one of the parties to the prosecutor : this child, of Course,lon being questioned, 'peached; and six' others were laid bold of, who likewise confeseed themselves guilty. The four little ones, it appeared, had been enticed by the bigger ones—that is, an infant of six years was bribed by one of ten, offering him a halfpenny—and bul lied, by having " his hat thrown over the orchard wall "before him," to Clamber in and bring away two or three bandsfull of pears and apples to his seducer, who waited outside the wall to receive them. This was the atrocity for which the miserable little creatures were brought be fore the frowning majesty of public justice. The gentle men on the bench, as is reported,.seemed to shudder — well they might—at the thought Of destroying the sense of shame in such untutored children, of exposing them to the,corruptions of a prison, and rendering them callous to thadisgrace of it. The case, besides, was still more cruel, because the only evidence of guilt that existed waS drawn froth the confessions of the children themselves—confes - , , sions extorted under extreme terror. It is inferred, we know not with how much truth,by the reporter, that feelings akin to revenge' on the pert Of the prosecutor were at the bottom of this extraordinary accusation; for, indeed, it is stated to have been alleged that the two eldest nrchini had been expelled u Sunday-school patronized by the prosecutor, for not a tt en di ng c h urc h so r e gu larly as he wished them on t!,ie Sabbath. The poor little beings were all this while crying most piteously, and deprecating: the ven vatinee which pursued them, but in vain : their .extorted confession was urged by some humane spectator, as a plea against the legality of the evidence on which they were accused; but the Act of Parliament was brought forward on the other side, and parchMent, we all know, is not incumbent' with bowels--no, nor is a linen surplice either, if we ,may judge by facts; for, on reading through the re port of this disgraceful and disgusting business, in the hope Of seeing that, as the children had. no parents Or re latives to protect them, the clergyman of their parish at least might have sent some parochial functionary to take care that - common justice was ,administered to his infant flock, we perceived with horror, that no such friend was near them, but that the Rev. George Chamberlain, rector orthe parish, hi:itself attended, and discharged the pipus office of a pastor, by helping to consign the ,babes and sueklings, under his own guardianship,for different periods t 0.., 4retulmill I 1-2Vinee. It is well known that the Joint-Stock frauds have fur. nished Material for'the manufacture of several new mem. berm of Parliament, The gains of dishonest cupidity have been, in more instances than one, applied to the purposes of political ambition. The jobbing which took place in the last Parliament respecting► delusive schemes was bad and disgraceful enough—the infusion of a new portion of sordid:ingenuity into the represntation is not likely to im prove the dignity or wisdom of the Legislature. After the South-sea scheme, several Members were, expelled the House who had participated in the profits of that abomi nable transaction, lint so niuce has our moral sensibility adVaneed in the present enlightened age that no Member of either Pouse who shared in the Joint-Stock frauds of the present day has been thought to dishonoUr the House, or ordered to withdraw himself from its society. On the contrary, the (louse itself is made an object of further speculation with those who have already •pocketed - by the most scandalous contrivances,. the money of the deluded public. Mr. Clarke at the meeting.of the Cornwall and Devonshire Mining Company, said that n fraud to the nTOP9t , or 19)0001, has bean .committeti in that concern. Let this sum,- be applied to the making of Member* of Parliament, and what result will it give ? Estimating the priceiof ii seat at the; average of 5,000/., here we have "material" for the manufacture of, eight Members of Par liament. Now; five frauds of the nature describedby Mr. "Clarke ' 'and of the extent, would furnish material for the manufacture of forty Membera of Parliament, the number that constitutes a House. and is sufficient to vote away all the money of the nation 1 . But instead of five, how many bOndreds of those fratidii hive we not witnessed within the last two yetkrB, until we.do not know whether to be more astonished at the andacioua depravity of the contri vers of such,sehemes, or the hopeless folly of their vic tims I—Mtrening.Herald. Notwithetandig the long accounts in 'some of 'papers, atilt the decay of trade mid matiellectures, and the stag nation of commerce, scarcely any one feet of importance can be gleanedfrom them. The greater part of the state ments may be_regarded as, idle gossip, and quite of a piece with that which sometimes comes from the City, manu factured en the Royal Exchange, by ii few individuals, whose interests are immediately concerned. The one de serves just about as much credit OR the other. Though these doleful strains are chaunted dity after day, it seems evident to almost every ono, that things, as they are call ed, both in the manufacturing district* and in the com mercial world in general, are on the tern for the better.-- lii other woiti4 fewer goods have been made lately by the pnwer-looms and other machinery, the consumption has remained Much about the aame, and the consequence is, that the supply and demand are gradually approximating, and probably will soon he alike. Indeed, it is not un likely dust ,if. things . remain ..in, this state for some time to come, the demand will weed the supply.. This is a natural connequenee of the stop put to machinery in so many parts of England, and we trust that the manufacturers aleisolt from the . past, and be cautious how they again Put their machinery in Motion, in the way they have done of late years. About a year ago the production of goods was so rapid, and' on such a large scale, that the whole world would hardly havoibeen requisite to fattish a market for the supply. We trust,, therefore, in case,Of • the revieal of trade, that some moderation will be evinced in the use of the power-looms and other machinery, and that, those, who put, them in motion will not act on the principle that seemed to have actuated our manufacturers for the last tweety years: Their only object has been not to=proportion the supply to the demand, but to produce the greatest possible quantity of goods in a given time, *Omit considering what market they should find for than . ; whereas their caleulation ought to have been, whether if a thousand pieces of any description had been thrown off, they should be elite to sell them, and, if sold, get . peid. Such a 'calculation 'never,appeers to have been entered into. They all forgot. that .it was possible to overstoek the market, and that what was good reasoning for fifty years past, might be bad reasoning for fifty years to come . When Sir 'Robert Peel commenced business, a block printer could not 'print a piece of calico in less than two or three days The same may be effected now by machinery in one or twit minutes. Sir Robert thought if he printed 1,00 0 pieces in one week at his differ en t es t a blishments,' he did, well. Of bite., hewever, a calico printer was thought nothing of who did not throw off froM 3,000 to 5,000 pieces in one week. When so many werejoing o n at this rate, and every one strivingto eexcel : enather in . the quantity o f g oods produced,tos it b A ? e _ll these cir wentlered!it that the market 'should be over-stocked cumstances , however, seem to h ave e scaped the notice of our manufacturers; and, nothing, perhaps, but the late re vulsion could have opened their eyes, and brought them to A l t a senses. 'Percy Mist now , be aware that these have been the chief, if not t he onl y causesof the glut in the English, and in every foreign market for. This, however a al ti been the case in one branch o f business only, most every description of trade an d manu r AC tures was overdone in a similar manner. T he consumption could the :not nor did not keep pal l :1110, Of rig increase m. d r production, and eonsequ. ,entitUttr d aPPLI" • ° t A ; ;\ ift its some time, to languish. The time, however, appears to have arrived when articles of every description are more proportioned to the demand—the imports are fewer than they were last year; the consumption remains about the same, and the supply and the demand are becoming more nearly balanced. In consequence of the cheapness, too, of all sorts of imported commodities, foreigners are frequenting England in greater numbers than formerly, and helping to carry off the surplus. By, and by the markets will be re lieved; the goods will gradually be cleared out of the warehouses, not only in England but in every foreign state ; and if our manufacturers do not return to their old system of striving who 'should make the most goods, it is probable that in time the demand will exceed the supply. The panic will then be all on the other side, and the country papers will be filled with long and flaming accounts of the improve ment and prosperity of trade. Nothing can be more pre posterous than to suppose, as some do, that trade can become extinct ; for so long as there are people in the country there must be trade; and if the people are pro tected in their properties and lives, and allowed to live in peace—if they enjoy rational freedom—if they are not harassed with passports and other foolish obstructions to trade, as in foreign countries—if they have the good for tune to live under a King who does not interfere with the liberties of the people, who institutes no prosecutions for libel against himself, who allows every one to enjoy his own opinions, political as well as religious, and act in any way he may think fit, provided he does not disturb public tranquillity—if, in short, the lives and properties of the people continue to be thus protected, and their thoughts remain free, we may rest assured that the coun try will remain populous, and trade will flourish as an ine vitable consequence. The trade caused by births, mar riages, and deaths alone, as we mentioned some days ago, amounts of itself to no trifle. This, however, when com pared with the whole of the internal trade of the coun try, will not appear of great moment. The latter has been computed by some at one thousand millions annually. Thus a tax of five per cent. on the internal trade of the country, would produce a revenue sufficient to pay the interest of the debt, and the apenees of Government. — Moraine. Herald. The following communication relates to a very great evil in our Judicial system—the crying abuse of making remanent:. Our Correspondent observes, that the public had reason to expeet that the Judges would devote suffi cient time for the discharge of their duties on the Circuit, since the addition made' to their 'salaries. We rather sup pose that the defect lies in the system itself. Before the addition to the salaries; the Judges,.we believe, were eel (him accused of not leading a very laborious life; and if they tasked their strength "to the utmost, an addition to their salary. could not enable them to go through more business. But, if the Judges, are not equal to the labour, a new arrangement ought to be adopted—a matter, one would think, of no , great difficulty—if a sincere desire existed to consider the public interest as well as the . con- Venience of Lawyers:— Since the increase that has been made in' the salaries of the Judges (made too at a period of unexamplg national distress), the public hall reason to expect that they would. devote sufficient time for the discharge of their duties on the Ciicuit, and that the crying abuse of making remanenta would be discontinued. That expel. tation, we regret to say, has been 'disappointed. Remanent: have been made at many places at the present Summer Assizes • arid at Shrewsbury, not less than six important causes have been left un tried. A similar number was left at one town on the last Western Circuit. The expence occasioned to the parties by this practice, Minty nothing of the vexation and disappointment occasioned by it, is most enormous. But great as these evils are, they are bi lling, compared with the failure of justice it often produces, either by the death or disease, of witnesses, or inability front a va riety of reasons to come a second time to an Assize Town at an in terval of eight mouths. is,difficult to imagined that teatime of conduct, productive of au Much grievance, should have been so long,peraisted in by the respectable individuals in question, every one of whom, we hesitate not. to tulutit i in his private character, would most eon ' Scientiously avoid the infliction of .any. injury. It .con otliY he accounted, for by the force of precedent, which is too otosn fol lowed, without, consideration, especially in the law, • Tiothlog can he osier than to provide a remedy for this mischief; .:betas the judges do nor scent dispostml to apply it, Parliament is called upon to interfere. It tray be difficult .to calculate with precision the exact number of days necessary for the business at each place, Pe erage the business to be done cmi,not be ascertained until the Assizes commence ; but when time enough has not been allowed, : and the judges are obliged to go into another County to open the commission, they may always return to try the causes they leave behind them, and for which purpose a formal adjournment should always be proclaimed., After the most liberal and even generous treatment the 'Judges have recently experiencied, no objection can be anticipated to this marks* on their pert, on the ground of its ahbreViating their vticatiopek but should this be alleged by them, they , must be taught thatillicir private convenience cannot any Inn" be ° 4l3 oted ' l4 lArtio'llarr at Intelt expence of the pubima interests..-./goraino Chronicle. . COMMISSION OF LUNACY. On Monday, a jury was assembled at the Secondaries'. Office Coleman-street, upon a Commission of Inquiry into the lunacy of Sarah Eliason, of 'Hatton-garden. Mr. Evanee, with Mr., Phillitnore, and another gentleman, presided. The first witness called was Dr. Van Oven, who stated that in March 182.5, he attended upon a Mrs;Eliason, the lady in question, who was now about 60 years of age. She had made, as he understood, an attempt to commit suicide. He found on her person some wounds, made, as he was informed, with a pair of blunt scissors, and they certainly appeared to have been inflicted with a weak hand, He had attended her sulaiequently, and •had not the slightest doubt that she was at the time, and had continued ever since, in a state of mental derangement. She was isnbe cile, and totally incapable of managing her affairs. ' Dr. Morro stated, that he had been called upon to at tend Mrs". Elision, and had found her in a state of mental derangement. He mentioned several instances. He asked her what King's reign it was. She said it was the reign of George VI. He asked her how long it was since he first visited her. She replied, that it was a year and a half ago, althoufth it was bat a few days since. In fact, she had no distinct perception of time, and he could not entertain a doubt that she was utterly incompetent to manage any affairs. A young female, who was engaged from the service of Dr. Warburton as 'a nurse for Mrs. Eliason, was then ex amined. She stated that her mistress, when left alone sat all day long in a chair, doubling up a handkerchief. She sometimes refused to take her meals, and witness was compelled to use force to compel her. She gave no orders to the servants, and did not in any way interfere in domes tic matters. Slw was incapable. She was occasionally taken out in her carriage, when she would never allow the blinds to be up, and was very troublesome. The lady was waiting in a carriage on the outside of the dice where the inquiry was held.—The Jury having expressed a desire to see her, they were informed that she positively refused to quit her carnage, in which she was attended by two ladies. Mr, Commissioner Phillimore, and several of the jury, went out to speak to the lady in her carriage. The cir cumstance soon attract/0 a crowd, who began to manifest some symptoms of a. determination.to know " the rights" of the matter. On his return, Mr. Phillimore stated that such a mode of examination was extremely inconvenient. He had spoken to the lady, who 'appeared greatly agita ted and in tears. The answers she gave to him aped very rational. When requested to step out, she stated she was greatly depressed in spirits, and begged to be ex.- ellsedt its it would be extremely painful to her. Mrs. Soloin a b s , a friend of the family, who had attende d the lady in her carriage, was examined. Her testimony was i !dmilar to that given b y t h e nurse . 'I he •nieye, who was the second lady that attended her in the carriage, ite ewlae to was called eds'uhreefe effectoretlie as fury, and given andexamined. she gave Mrs. Solomons. The Jury returned a- verdict, finding that Mrs. Elision was of unsound mind, and Incapable ormanaging her affairs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHA LL.-r*PATIENcz v.atoonsc. —Mr. Andrew Patience charged Mr. Baritaby Mocha with having battered and bruised his head until it was not fit to be teen. Tlie head, certainly, was in a very unsightly Condition=—resembling an unripe, rough-eoated, dirk-green pumpkin more than any thing else; and what was still more strange, the owner declared that it bad been 44 knocked about in that fashion for nothing in 'the world but love I" " For love!" said Mr. Alderman ANsua, with no little sur- prise. 4/ y es , indeed, your Worship," replied the verd-antique-visaged Mr. Andrew Patience; and then he went into a rather tedious de tail of how it came about; from which detail we gathered that it was not love, but that green-eyed monster Jealousy, which had brought him to this dark -green and very preposterous pass. Love was undoubtedly a sort of a particeps c'riminis in the affair, but it was the green-eyed monster above .mentioned that did all the mis chief. The circumstances were thus : Seven years ago the defendant, Mr. Barnaby Moore, an opera, tive baker, rising twenty-three, years old, became enamoured of one Miss Alithea Mumtord, whose sire sells cabbages, and other esculent Vegetables, in some devious court beside Fleet-market, and there the fleeting hours flew by, unmarked by Mr. Moore—for be was born wayont the Tweed," and could coolly endure e seven, or even fourteen year.' courtship, if prudence forbad its earlier consummation. But Mr. Moore bad inure prudence than Miss Alithea Muniford. She thought the tender passion was not tough enough to bear stretching out to such a length, and began to fear it might snap asunder some day or other, never to re-unite.— So she prudently resolved to have two strings to her bow, or, which is much the same, two 'beaux to her - string'; end, without more ado, she appointed Mr. Andrew Patience to the second post. Mr. Andrew Patience is a juvenile butcher, and, notwithstanding his name is Patience, he soon made it manifest that he had no pa tience in his temperament. In fact, he was so impatient—So in cessant in his attentions to Miss Alithea,. and so urgent fora con summation of their courtship, that the matter could no longer be kept secret from: the Cool and calculating Mr. Moore ; and he, sud denly laying aside his coolness, and not calculating' the conse quences of so doing, was tempted to waylay Mr. Andrew Pa tience, and batter and bruise him at already described. • Mr. Moore had no defence to make before the Magistrate, and therefore, as a matter of course, he was ordered to find aunties to answer the citsuplaint of Mr. Patience at the Quarter Sessions. MARYLEDONE.--Yesterday' man of the name of'Mayoei living in Circus-street, New-road, and the, father of a large family of children, applied ;o the Magistrate for, advice, al to how he was to proceed against a respectable shopkeeper in the neighbourhood, whom he accused of having ruined his daughter, a child not yet twelve years of age. • Mr. RAwuNsoN having heard the outline of the tate, issued a Warrant for the immediate apprehension of the individual named, and he was soon after brought incustody . to the office. Mr. Rawrisrson, seeing be was unaccompanied by any friend, observed, that as the charge against him might be of the most se , rious: consequences, he would defer the examination to a future day, if he (the prisoner) was desirous of obtaining professional assist 'eye before the ease was gone into; The defendant said, as he knew himself to be totally innocent of having committed any offence, he would rather at once hear what the complaint against him was. Harriet Mayne, a small but intelligent child, about twelve years old, then stated, without embarrassment or trepidation, the whole of the defendant's alleged misconduct towards her. At present she is living as servant with Mrs. Wilke, No. 24, Quebec-street. Mrs. Wilke keeps a lodging-house, which is principally occupied by ladies. Mrs. Wilke knew the object of those who visited them. She went to live with Mr. Constantine (the defendant) soon after last Christmas, and in about three weeks sonic fowls were drown ed, for which she was blamed, and dismissed by her master. It was her master and not Mrs. Constantine who sent her away. She was taken back again about a month afterwards, and remain ed in the house about three weeks, when she again left. During the time of her last stay three girls came to the shop, to inquire, as she believed, about places. Her mistress was from home, and they were taken into the parlour behind the shop. It was a half glass door to the parlonr. She was sent for some ale, and her master made them tipsy. Ile then took liberties with them. She knew he did so, because he did the same with her after they were gone. She fetched but a pint and a half of ale. Mr. Constantine desired her to be sure not to tell her mother of what lie had done. It happened in the afternoon, between three and four o'clock. ller master once kept an oil-shop in Upper York street, firyanston-square. While he was in the parlour with her, people came into the shop, and when they were gone, be would return to her. Slur never told of the• ilk.usast 410 11.44 rarely .sl till lately. When.she haft left , St.i.Constaititititi's house, she need to go to the shop on errands, and then he would persuade her to go into the parlour; And ones when he took her into the parlour, he told her if his wife should die (for she was then ill) be would marry her. The mother of the girl said her husband was a gentleman's Or mit out of place. She had nine children, four older than this Harriet. She was fearful the child was very forward for her age;. but she thought it was to:be attributed to the shameful inanner she had been treated by IW.. Constantine. Mr. RaWLINSON then asked the prisoner what he had to say to this aggravated charge? Mr. Constantino-.-The story, Sir, you have heard, is all false ! Mr. Raverterem—You had better question the girl, then, and show that it is false ! The Girl—lt is all true, I%lr. Constantine, and you know it. You know you have sent for ale to make me drink more than was right, and when I told you how impudent Colonel Salmon's Servant hid been to me, you said I ought not to tin so with any one but yeu! Mr. Constantine—lt is all false, and no one will believe you, your are a bad girl Mr. Ilawi.txson—You may ask the girl as many questions as you please, but you must not abuse her. She certainly is a very bold and forward child ; but I believe that what she says of you is true.' Clear your character if you can, by showing it to he untrue. The defendant then examined the girl at great lepgth. Her answers were given with'singular boldness for a chili so young, but the circumstances she named in corroboration of her tale, seemed to put the truth of her statement beyond a doubt. Mr. Rswg.txsou said the defendant had, fortunately for him self escaped, the capital charge, hut he ahoule bind over her father to pro*enute for the misdemeanour, and require him to enter into recognitances, himself in 1001., and two sureties for 501. each, before be was liberated on bail. The d e fendant, not having bail ready, was locked up. IJNION.MALL,—.Yesterday a linen-draper's shopman, named George Neal, was brought before the . Sitting Magistrate, charged with robbing his employer, Mt% Benjamin, residing in Newing ton, Of property to a considerable amount. The prisoner, like most of his brethren of the trade, was dressed as fashionably and as well as a man of 1;000/. a-year could be. The complainant stated, that the young man at the bar had been in his employment about two mouths. Soon aftex he had entered the service, articles were missed out of the shop; but, notwith standing every vigilance had been resorted to in order to ascertain by whom the property was taken, the thief Was not discovered Until within the last few days, when, on taking stock, there ap peered to be a nitwit alarming delleiencY in the various goods that had been previougY deposited in the shop. The prisoner was sus pected as the person, particularly es he was frequently observed of late in the habit of visiting at the house of a noted courtesan in the neighbourbood of West-square. A search-warrant was accordingly' applied for and obtained, which, on being executed, upwards of 1301. worth of- Mr, Benjamin's goodi, consisting of silk shawls, silk handkerchiebs, silk stockings, and pieces of mus lin, were found in the prisoner's box, and on examining his Person duplicate* of property of the same description,, pledged at different pawnbrokers' shops were found in his pocket*. Mr. Benjamin, while detailing the lopes he had sustained by dishonest shopmen, was so affected as even to shed tears. By reference to some of the duplicates in the priiioner's possession, it appeared that he had commenced robbing his employer the second day after he had en , tered his service. • The presence of some of the pawnbrokers at whose shops part of ilu stolen property had been pledged being required; the pri.;- *oiler, who declined saying any thing in his defence, and stood at the bar with,poth bands covering his face, was remanded.

CHILIAN and PERUVIAN MINING COMPANY, Yesterday a' meeting Of the scrip. holders of this COmpany took place at . BatsOn's Coffee-house, Corn hill, for the purpose of taking into consideration the Most effectual plan .of ascertaining: the state of the affairs of the Association : Mr. Wm. Clark in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the meeting was assembled by public advertisement, in consequence of the Diree tora refusing to comply'with a requisition signed by twenty or thirty respectable names, calling them to-con vene a meeting. Mr. CLARK .said that the original capital of the company was 1,000,000/. ; to consist of 10,000 shares' of 1001. each ; for the purpose of purpose 'of purchas ing gold and silver mines in 'Chile and'Peru, and he understood that all shares had been subscribed for, and a sufficient sum - had from the public, capable of carry ing into effect all objects contemplated by the company. , ship, the Eriga, was •fteighted at a vast expense ; two commissioners and fifty men, furnished with every descriPtion of mining implements, were sent out to Valparaiso, and to facilitate the operations of the as 7 sociation, a Captain Andrews was despatched for the porpose of securing some valuable mines which had ben pointed out to the notice of the Directors, who, instead - of going direct to Valparaiso, went to Buenos Ayres, and' across the country to Mendoza; and in stead of crossing, the Cordelier mountains to Santiago, he proceeded northward into a barren country, where he found mines,-.—but so remote were they, it would have been impossible to attempt working them ' as the country seemed to ,be' perfectly destitute of human beings. He:then directs his course to Peru, where he finds mines which seemed worthy of the attention of the Company, but the agent of a rival company had already secured them. In the mean time; the Eriga, with the commissioners and men had arrived at Val. paraiso. Captain Andrews not appearing, they were quite at a loss to know what they should do : they seemed as if they were thrown -upon a desert island. the commissioner, Captain Bagnold, seeing the situa tion in which they were placed, endeavoured to look Out for other mines, and his investigation was crowned with the success of, 'discovering a copper mine,' but from its-locality the working' of it would not be attend ed with advantage to the association. Things being thus circumstanced, the Directors conceived it neces. aary to supersede Captain :Andrews in his official opacity as agent ; and Captain Bagnold, with his fifty men, remained at Valparaiso, at a loss how to dispose of them. How then did the case stand ? A company' is formed for specific purposes, money sub scribed to carry those purposes into effect—the theatre of its operations is in another clime-=-4t ship is freighted at a heavy expense---the vvhole scheme proves abortive —the Directors are applied to for an explanation—they decline, on the alleged ground that the scrip-holders have not signed a deed of settlement,- and consequently are 'not' partners in the-concern. Now 'he (Mr.. Clark) was of a contrary opinion. 'Mr. Clark went to state, that the only way to ascertain the true state of the Company's affairs was by an inspection of the cor respondence, books, and accounts,' which . he had been refused. He next adverted -to the , signatures which appeared to the deed of settlement, which was only signed for 3,028 shares, and with the exception of four or five, those who had signed were Directors. One Director had not signed in consequence of becoming a bankrupt. The Auditors, lie understood, had refused to sign, and, as he believed, because they did not ap prove of the conduct of the Directors. Mr. Clark vitt:haled a long statement by observing, that the trictat kolicioite course for the Directors to pursue 'wits to tbroW themselves On the mercy of the Shareholders. After several observations from other Gentlemen, a resolution passed, appointing a committee of three' to wait on the 'Directors, for the purpose of inspecting the books and accounts of the Company.. Thanks being voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. • . NATURAL HISTORY, OF THE OURANG OUTANGi We doubt not that our, readers will be as much interested as we have been with the following account of this twentieth cousin of humanity, which we abridge fron a paper originally published in an American Journal,ly Dr. Jetieries, of Boston, United States. The particular animal described was brought from Borneo to Boston, where , he died immediately on his Krival. Captain Blanchard, with whom he sailed, furnished much information respecting his habitr, &c. and Dr. Jefferies dissected him. . • In his•external.appearance he resembled an African. He was three and a half feet high; covered with hair excepting the face, the palms of the hands, and feet, which were . ell of thecolourof the negro. his ears were small and handsome ; his eyes Miele, bright, and somewhat deep in. the sockets ; •his brow prominent, with but little hair, his nose flat ; his lips large and. thick ; more so. than those of any negro ; his chin broad and projecting ;, his chest full .and prominent, waist and hips small.; arms very long, the fingers reaching nearly to the ankles.
